Answer, which was NOT a goal of Lincoln's proclamation:  B. to fulfill his lifelong abolitionist ambitions

  • <em>Concerning Lincoln's views on slavery, the History Channel reports, "Lincoln did believe that slavery was morally wrong, but there was one big problem: It was sanctioned by the highest law in the land, the Constitution."  So Lincoln had not been a lifelong abolitionist, due to his respect also for the Constitution.</em>

<u>Historical context/details regarding the Emancipation Proclamation:</u>

President Abraham Lincoln issued The Emancipation Proclamation as an executive order on January 1, 1863. The executive order declared freedom for slaves in  ten Confederate states in rebellion against the Union.  It also allowed that freed slaves could join the Union Army to fight for the cause of reuniting the nation and ending slavery.  As summarized by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, "The Proclamation broadened the goals of the Union war effort; it made the eradication of slavery into an explicit Union goal, in addition to the reuniting of the country."

While Lincoln personally was strongly against slavery, he had to tread carefully in his role as president and commander-in-chief.  The Emancipation Proclamation was carefully worded in order to retain the support of four border slave states, which remained in the Union though they were states that permitted slavery, were  Maryland, Missouri, Delaware, and Kentucky.   Lincoln wanted to keep those states loyal to the Union cause.

The Emancipation Proclamation was also a way of blocking foreign support for the Confederate cause.  According to the American Battlefield Trust, "Britain and France had considered supporting the Confederacy in order to expand their influence in the Western Hemisphere. However, many Europeans were against slavery."  Britain had abolished slavery in its territories in 1833.  France had put a final end to slavery in its territories in 1848.  So when Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, it also served as a foreign policy action to keep European powers out of the US Civil War, according to Steve Jones, professor of history at Southwestern Adventist University.

The correct answer is the following: Option D. In 2012, <u>the Supreme Court ruled that requiring people to buy health insurance is an acceptable use of the power to tax.</u> In June of 2012, the Supreme Court of Justice of the United States upheld President Obama's health care overhaul law, stating that its requirement for people to obtain health insurance coverage, was an acceptable use of the power to tax.

The Article I, section 8 of the Constitution, gives Congress the power to lay and collect taxes in order to pay the debt and provide for the general welfare of the country. Based on this, the Supreme Court, in 2012, voted 5 to 4 to confirm that the Constitution permits such form of a tax, and therefore the Court could not forbid the government to do so.
